Hellfest is proud and honoured to announce that DEF LEPPARD will make their grand return to France on Friday June 21st, 2013 as headliner for the first day of the festival.
This event will be DEF LEPPARD’s first concert in France for almost seventeen years (The band’s previous live appearance in this country dated from October 20th 1996 in Paris)!!!
HELLFEST are pleased to announce a further 72 acts to their already stellar line up across 6 stages over 3 days from June 21st-23rd 2013 in Clisson, France.
British luminaries WHITESNAKE make an excellent addition to Friday’s mainstage line up, and the British invasion continues with the addition of ASKING ALEXANDRIA who recently sold out their entire UK tour including London’s prestigious Brixton Academy.
Legendary Swedish rock outfit EUROPE will also join the main stage line up on Friday and following their comeback album ‘Carved Into Stone’ in 2012, 90’s thrash metallers PRONG make a welcome addition to Sundays line up.
To mark their 25th anniversary DANZIG will also appear as part of the main stage line up and he'll be bringing special guest & former Misfits band mate Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. This will be the first time ever that Danzig and Doyle will have performed together live on European soil. Joining the punk parade will also be UK veterans THE TOY DOLLS & BUZZCOCKS showing us that they can still whip up a storm after over 30 years in the business.
Following the release of their third studio album ‘Band Of Brothers’ last year, hard rock super group HELLYEAH return to the mainland to lay to waste their brutal concoction of foot stomping, fist pumping rock and roll.
